Sundays at Sarah’s

Let’s be honest, how many of us buy a new sketchbook or journal every other month, draw in a page or two, and then just let it pile dust on desks? Well in this weeks episode Miriam and Marissa discuss all things Sketchbooks! Why we love them, why they intimidate us, and what we’d like to start drawing in them. We also discuss artist Louise Despont, her recent show at The Drawing Center, and her thoughts on Sketchbooks. Hopefully you will feel encouraged to pick one up and make marks again! Also, check out Sarah’s solo show up now at the UTEP Glass Gallery. :-)

Today the girls along, with special guest Christian, share their thoughts on what makes critiques difficult but also why they are so fundamental to growth. Do you practice critiques in and out of school? Do you think they’re important? What could make them better? Let us know what you all think! :-)

In this weeks episode we invited fellow printmaker and artist extraordinaire, Christian, to discuss our various experiences at this years Chinati weekend in Marfa, Texas. Some ups, lots of downs, but plenty of fun along the way as well. We hope you enjoy this weeks episode! You can find Christian on instagram @bit.map :-)

This week Sarah, Marissa, and guest host Dania discuss their experience using text in art as well as some of the motivating forces behind it. Do you use text to make a statement, decorate a composition, to tell secrets, give lessons, etc.? Text gives endless possibilities in works of art so let’s explore just a few of them now.

While Miriam travels around Europe, Sarah and Marissa invite fellow printmaker Dania over for a special episode where they share their personal experiences with the creepy and unexplained as well as some of your stories as well. Let’s get into the Halloween spirit shall we.

How do you get your work exhibited? How often should you try? What should be added to a resume? Where can you find space to share your work? Today the ladies discuss their experience exhibiting work at the university level and beyond. We’ve all had our ups and downs and hopefully this can offer some insight into what it’s like and where to find opportunities to show.
